Blank Expression

(Chorus) Twisted inception, sightless direction, Where's the truth in this hall of reflections? Feels like I’m lost in a dream, too deep, Fractured bones on this path I still creep. These walls are the story, my untold confession, My mind is the fortress, my soul’s detention. It's solitary here in this hollow procession, Within the confines of my shadow's possession. (Verse 1) In this space, these four walls, it’s my soul's exhibition, Painted tales of the falls, and the unyielding condition. Feels like the clock stopped ticking, I’m frozen in derision, Walking with a limp in my step, but still chasing visions. This room is my blank canvas, a mural of my thoughts, A maze of tangled lines where my battles are fought. Down below, in the cellar, is where demons are wrought, The place where I battle the darkest fears that I've caught. With my hands I've punched through these walls till they broke, Bled out the rage, the silence, the words never spoke. You might see the cracks and the lines as just art, But they're the map of the wars that I wage in the dark. (Verse 1) In this space, these four walls, it’s my soul's exhibition, Painted tales of the falls, and the unyielding condition. Feels like the clock stopped ticking, I’m frozen in derision, Walking with a limp in my step, but still chasing visions. This room is my blank canvas, a mural of my thoughts, A maze of tangled lines where my battles are fought. Down below, in the cellar, is where demons are wrought, The place where I battle the darkest fears that I've caught. (Chorus) Twisted inception, sightless direction, Where's the truth in this hall of reflections? Feels like I’m lost in a dream, too deep, Fractured bones on this path I still creep. (Verse 2) Written on these walls, the words carve out a tale, The day I lost her voice, the day I turned pale. One of the first things I wrote, ‘should’ve picked up the call’, But now there’s no space left, no space at all. Regret the struggle, the quest to find my role, Told myself ‘I do enough’, but that takes its toll. Dismiss it like it's nothing, beyond my control, Then seethe when I see it derailing my goal. (Chorus) Twisted inception, sightless direction, Where's the truth in this hall of reflections? Feels like I’m lost in a dream, too deep, Fractured bones on this path I still creep. (Bridge) There’s a part of my soul, no one’s stepped in, sealed tight, Built up a vault, and it’s shielded, concealed from the light. If I let you in, you might never find your way out, And I’m haunted by emptiness, shadowed by doubt. So I keep my doors locked, guarding my space, my air, You might reach other rooms, but that inner sanctum? Never there. The pain of a reopened wound is a burden too harsh to bear, It's just me and my solitary prayer, in the dark, I swear. I’m barricaded inside, don't bother, I've ceased to fight, Not answering the door, not taming the beast tonight. I let fear into my home, it’s a guest that refused to leave, Now I live with this presence, in the shadows, I grieve. But I'm learning to stand, in the rooms fear has paved, Commanding my space, in the darkness, I'm brave.
